Effect of dexmedetomidine anesthesia on respiratory function in pediatric patients undergoing retinoblastoma resection.
Article in Oncology letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on the respiratory function during anesthesia induction in pediatric patients undergoing retinoblastoma (RB) resection. A total of 87 pediatric patients who underwent RB resection in Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang were recruited into this study. General anesthesia was first induced for all patients, of which 45 were randomly assigned to the experimental group and received Dex through an intravenous infusion pump to maintain general anesthesia. The remaining 42 patients were assigned to the control group and received saline through an intravenous infusion pump. Respiratory function and hemodynamic indexes at five time-points, i.e., before anesthesia induction (T0), 5 min after injection of anesthetic agents (T1), before intubation (T2), 15 min after intubation (T3), and 30 min after extubation (T4), were recorded and compared. Incidence of perioperative cardiac and respiratory adverse events was counted in both groups, and post-anesthesia resuscitation was evaluated and compared. Compared with T0, the respiratory rate (R) of the experimental group was lower at T1-T4, but there was no statistical difference (P<0.05). Compared with T0, the control group had a higher R at T2, lower R at T3 and T4 (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in R between T0 and T1 (P>0.05). At the same time-point, compared with the experimental group, the R was higher at T2, and lower at T3 and T4 in the control group (P<0.05), and no significant difference was found at T1.
